Hi,

I know there is NOT a direct way to get all files + folders of a hierarchy of BOX folder. we have to recursively get items of subfolders.

However, if I simply need a count estimation, is it possible to get the basic info?

The Transferring tool https://www.multcloud.com can estimate the file count firstly, after it is done, it will start the transferring. In my observation, it looks it also recursively iterates the folders, but how it can know the recursive complete?

Thank you for any hints

  I finally found it is just a common question on how to determine a recursively iteration has completed. see the comments I posted on SO:
